Have a staycation
You can enjoy your time together as a family without spending a load of cash on a vacation. Movie nights, skate nights, outdoor activities. Become a tourist in the city that you live in. Plan out the week of activities and go online or check the Sunday paper to find coupons. Quality time with family is good no matter where it’s done.
Be realistic
Who doesn’t want to travel the world? However, making decisions to take trips that will cost you more money than you can afford may add more stress. Be realistic on what you can and can not afford and plan in advance.
Take a roadtrip
If you can, cut out airfare and drive to your destination. Airfare can cost thousands for a family of four. Planning a vacation that you can drive to will save you money, as well as, give the family time to talk and catch up.
